How to Select a Contractor
Communication is the key to selecting the best professional insulation contractor for YOU. Asking questions will help you determine which contractor has the best overall background and experience to do the job.
Ask what type of work they do
Not all contractors are created equal! Some contractors will measure your house and apply insulation. A Professional Contractor should have a background not only in insulation but also in Building Science Principles. When considering the entire building as a working environment, a professional building science contractor can analyze the sub systems and how they interact to determine the root cause of the problem and implement the appropriate treatment.

HEC Technologies are experts in the understanding of Building Science Principles. Understanding this concept allows us to analyze the sub systems and how they interact to determine the root cause of any problems and implement the proper treatment.
Ask how long they have been in business
Along with industry experience, a professional contractor should
belong to a trade association with high standards, be in good standing
with the Better Business Bureau, and be appropriately licensed and
insured.
A Professional Contractor will be current on all of the latest
industry updates regarding regulatory changes and developments of new
or improved diagnostic equipment and regularly update their professional
training.

Ask if they do their own work or do they subcontract
Whether the contractor uses their own employees or subcontracts the work, all technicians should be highly trained and certified in the process. Ask if they have a history of safety for the employees and the building sites. Check at least three references for similar projects that have been done by the contractor. Determine who your point of contact will be if they subcontract the work.
